This week, Week 9 Term 3, we have started our study about Antarctica. We will be learning about this amazing place on Earth for the rest of this term and the beginning of next term.
Antarctica is the Earth's southernmost continent, surrounding the South Pole. It is situated in the southern hemisphere, and it is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
During the summer, Antarctica can have spectactacular sunsets sometimes. Antarctica is also the coldest, driest and windiest continent on Earth.
In Antarctica, only animals and plants that have adapted to the cold are able to survive there, including penguins, fur seals, mosses, lichen and many types of algae.
Sometimes there are expeditions to Antarctica, as explorers are keen to learn more about this vast continent.
Week 5 Term 4
This week we have started to learn about Sunsense, being sensible in the sun. We have worked in small groups and talked about how we can be safe in the sun. The sun's rays can be dangerous so we have to protect ourselves. This study will last for two to three weeks. We will be making posters with messages on them about being safe in the sun.
Week 8 Term 4
Our next study will be about Social Studies - focussing on the Resources and Economic Activities Strand. The study will be about The Jobs thatPeople do.
